U-Boats around Ireland: The Story of the Royal Navy's Coast of Ireland Command During the First World War

摘要

This well-researched and attractive paperback provides an extensive look into an important theater of the Great War—the waters around Ireland. Still part of the United Kingdom during World War I, Ireland served as a key bastion in fighting German U-boats, as they targeted merchant vessels bringing supplies to Britain. Later in the war, this area became an area of interest for the U.S. Navy, as transports brought U.S. naval and military forces and their equipment to Europe during 1917 and 1918.
